— The Founder

Raised in the shadow of the volcanoes.

Long before Rwanda was the world's most extraordinary conservation story, it was simply home. As a boy growing up in the shadow of the Virunga volcanoes, Gerry would watch the porters return from Karisimbi with mud to their knees and a quiet reverence in their eyes. He knew, even then, that the forest required not visitors, but witnesses.

In 2007, with a single Toyota Land Cruiser and an unshakeable conviction that Rwanda deserved a safari house as refined as its landscapes, Gerry founded what would become the country's most personal luxury safari operation.

Nearly two decades later, the principle hasn't changed: every itinerary is composed by Gerry personally — never resold, never templated. Every trekker, scout and guide is a colleague he has known for years. Every lodge is one he has slept in himself.

Gerry reads every inquiry personally and replies within one working day with a draft itinerary — never a brochure. From there, the journey is refined together until it belongs to you alone.

In 2025, Gerry launched the 2026/2027 Seven Journeys Collection — the most comprehensive Rwanda itinerary suite ever offered.
